Sunoco Challenge

The Sunoco Challenge was first established in 2009 and now, nine seasons later, the challenges have become the prize to win in European motorsport. We now run two Challenges – the Sunoco Whelen Challenge, which provides a race seat in the #31 Whelen Cadillac VR DPi in the Rolex 24 At Daytona; and the Sunoco 240 Challenge, which provides a race seat in a GS (GT4) car in the 4-hour support race on the Friday before the Rolex 24. In total over 1,200 racers have participated from the inception of the Sunoco Whelen and 240 Challenges. The highest profile winner so far is ex Sauber F1 racer Felipe Nasr who finished 3rd in the 2012 Rolex 24 with Mike Shank Racing.

Racers compete against each other through an averaging system based on the number of cars in their class. If there are 10 or more racers in each class a win nets 100 points, a second place nets 85 points, all the way down to 5 points for tenth. In addition 20 points are awarded for pole position, and a further 20 points for the fastest lap. All points are then averaged over the their whole championship season and the highest average score wins!

Experience what it takes to become a Sunoco Challenge Champion, and how it feels to drive on the world famous banking for the first time!
